No respect. We are +16 1/2 at San Diego st.

I bet moneylines occasionally. Va tech at -700 looks about right based on a 14 pt line. At -18, SDS is -900 v.Wyo. The spreads on moneyline bets can really get wacky. As the lines get bigger, the moneyline spreads (if they even offer them) get ridiculous. I see Air farce is -12,500 and New mexico is only +5000.
I can't imagine anyone putting up 12,500 to win a 100.

The only moneyline that intrigues me is K-state +380 at home against Oklahoma. Pretty good odds on an undefeated team. Maybe K-state isn't that good, but then again, maybe Oklahoma isn't either.

Va Tech just seemed low to me. And agreed that once the spread gets over 25 points, the moneylines seem to go plaid. Totally arbitrary.

I found this injury list regarding Va Tech:
Date Pos Player Injury Status
10/24/11 LB Alonzo Tweety Ankle injured last game, "?" Saturday vs. Duke
10/24/11 DL James Gayle Ankle injured last game, "?" Saturday vs. Duke
10/24/11 LB Bruce Taylor Foot out for season
10/23/11 TE Eric Martin Shoulder "?" Saturday vs. Duke
10/23/11 DB Jayron Hosley Hamstring "?" Saturday vs. Duke

Bruce Taylor is arguably their best defensive player.

And yes, 12500 to win 100 is ridiculous; that's why I like the ML parlays, all one has to do is pick the winner. The first month of the season, like you mentioned before, is the best time to pick apart these lines. Alabama at Penn St. was something like -170. Throw that in with LSU, Wisconsin, Tenn. and Boise that week, and you've got a nice card.

That's it, my big betting secret is out of the bag, Ha Ha!
